Albemarle, Nov. 23—Will Broadaway of Thomasville, who is charged with having dynamited the home in which his mother lived here, on September 15th, is being tried in the Superior Court now in session in Albemarle. Mrs. Jane Broadaway, the gray-haired mother of the defendant, went on the stand this afternoon and told the jury how she and her one-month old grandchild were thrown from their bed by the explosion about 10:30 o’clock at night while they were asleep.
Mrs. Broadaway was painfully injured while it is stated that the little child is no doubt permanently injured from the effects of the explosion. All of the evidence is not yet in but a web of circumstantial evidence is being woven about Broadway. Broadaway is relying on an alibi as his defense, it is understood.
